Abstract
We review the current status of the determination of the quark mixing angles |Vqq′|, where q=u, c; q′=d, s, b. We consider essentially exclusive decay processes, taking into account the main sources of uncertainties, the available calculations of flavor symmetry breaking for hadronic matrix elements and the possibilities of improvement offered by new experimental results. In some cases we provide full expressions for |Vqq′| in terms of measurable decay properties, which can be useful for new experimental data. Finally, we discuss briefly the effects on the unitarity tests of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix when we consider recent corrections to the determination of |Vud|.
